At 9:00 Dick Spivak’s bank telephoned and said his payment was late. "The check is in the post," Dick replied quickly. At 11:45 Dick left for a 12:00 meeting across town. Arriving late, he explained that traffic(交通)had been bad. That evening, Dick’s girlfriend wore a new dress. He hated it. "It looks just great on you," he said.
Three lies in one day! Yet Dick Spivak is just an ordinary man. Each time, he told himself that sometimes the truth causes too many problems. Most of us tell much the same white lies, harmless untruths that help to save trouble. How often do we tell white lies? It depends in part on our age, education, and even where, we live. According to one U.S. study, women are more truthful than men, and honesty increases as we get older.
While most people use little white lies to make life easier, the majority of Americans care about honesty, in both public and personal life. They say that people today are less honest than they were ten years ago. Although it is believed that things are getting worse, lying seems to be an age-old human problem. The French philosopher(哲学家)Vauvenarges, writing in the eighteenth century, touched on the truth when he wrote," All men are born truthful and die liars."
According to the text, most Americans
选项
A、hate white lies
B、believe white lies
C、value honesty
D、consider others dishonest
答案
C
解析
通过文章的第3段中的the majority of Americans care about honesty in both public and personal life可以确定选项C。value是个动词,意为“重……(= have a high opinion of something)”,与文章中的care about(关心)意思接近。
